My allergies kicked in, but I powered through. And then we shot the scene at the vanity with the Big Bad Wolf coming over my shoulders and trying to seduce me. The song is so literal, the lyrics and everything — I mean, obviously, just by the title — that we felt like the video would have the freedom to go in a less literal direction.

			From an interview with ''Rock Sound'' in 2006:<ref name="rs06" />

			{{quote\|''It's about the last relationship I was in and finally putting my foot down and walking out the door after putting up with way too much. When I was writing the song, we'd broken up but the drunken calls hadn't stopped. My emotions were being pulled this way and that way for a long time and I finally had to say, 'That's it.' I just started over. I moved away. It was a few people messing me up, not just the relationship. There were a few things going wrong in my life, a few people bringing me down. I felt like I could save them but I came to the realisation that you can't save everyone, but you have to make the effort and you have to make a decision. I sold my house and I sold a bunch of my stuff and I got a new phone with a new number and moved to New York.''}}
