We open on a dim-lighted restaurant, zooming in on a middle-aged woman who sits alone at her table. The scene is reminiscent of the picture painted by right where you left me. The woman signals the waiter, and he comes back with the tab.
The next scene a young woman is in an argument with her partner because he has been glancing at another woman the entire evening. She doesn’t look like she believes his excuse.
The next scene a woman is lying awake in bed and she flashes back to – new scene – a bride (the same woman) walks in on her best friend snogging with the groom. – back to the woman in bed – she sighs and looks beaten (sad and exhausted).
Lyrics "That old familiar body ache
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know when it& #39;s time to go."
We see the woman from the restaurant scene again. She is packing her bags in the bedroom and emptying out the closet.

A middle-aged man stands in the corner at a party at work. He looks sad as everyone congratulates a twenty something year old man. Someone on the right pops a bottle. The camera pans back to the middle-aged man who takes a piece of pie with the young guy’s face on it.
The camera pans towards framed pictures of a family with two children spread over the house. The couple seems to be the middle-aged woman and the middle-aged man from earlier. As the camera moves from picture to picture, the family starts looking more sad.

The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know when it& #39;s time to go.
The middle-aged woman packs framed pictures of the kids into her suitcase and carries it downstairs.

But I& #39;ve got me
