Once upon a time...
In the video, Anastacia is shown as a mannequin, which falls in love with another mannequin. At the chorus she breaks the window and runs to the male mannequin. They dance in the snow and fall in love. The two then run into a room and make love. Later, the shop in which they are displayed goes out of business. All of the shop's materials are thrown away and sent to some sort of factory where a fire burns. They end up being melted in a fire and while holding hands, there shapes are contorted into the image of a heart. The video also shows Anastacia singing in a dark green room. She is dressed in all black which conceal all of her but her head and hands. It appears as if she is mourning the loss of the lovers and the many empty chairs around her, that she later thrashes about the room, symbolize that she is alone, which is the songs theme.

In this version, Anastacia is in a kind of castle lying alone in a bed surrounded by candles. She is vested sparely and everything has an romantic atmosphere.

Once upon a time...
The video is in black and white, and starts with a man, whose role in the story is not clear, assumedly the man she used to have a relationship with. As he fades away Anastacia is seen just lying on the ground singing the song looking very distressed, the camera zooms in from above. Also, throughout the video, scenes are shown where we see Anastacia in a black dress looking at strange images floating around her while singing too. Other shots include Anastacia burning, a beautiful rose freezing and a dark wood where the pop star and the mysterious man keep appearing. While singing the second verse, we discover she is in a padded room in some sort of mental hospital/psychiatric ward, it would appear all other shots would be some sort of dream or delusion Anastacia is having. At the 2½ minutes mark, when the chorus is repeated again, Anastacia goes completely insane running around crying, smacking the walls and looking extremely upset. At the end, she 'wakes up, probably after her fit. In her padded room there are drawings of the man lying next to her, as the camera is zooming out from above Anastacia rocks back and forth screaming to us. The camera gets further and further away until all that is left is a small white dot submerged in black.

After that it's turning Black and White and you see Anastacia stepping out of a car and walking through the street in a 30/40's outfit. She's taking place at a table from a restaurant and all the paparazzi is making pictures of her. While Eros is riding in his car singing his verse they go to the 50's. Anastacia is parking her scooter and they found each other but suddenly they're on a set from a movie and they're the actors. Then the director stops the scene and Anastacia and Eros are mad at him. At the end you see Anastacia sitting beside a projector and she's watching Eros.
