"I Cried for You" is inspired by the idea of Jesus and Mary Magdalene having been in a close relationship, and the loss she would have felt.

When the music begins, the man lip synchs to Melua's voice, and the woman begins to perform incisions in his skin and take, piece by piece, parts of his face away, revealing Melua.

Then, after a short part in which Melua sings and can move her head again, the woman performs similar incisions and begins to remove Melua's face, revealing the man underneath her again.

Again, Melua sings unperturbed until the mouth and neck are removed (the man's hands grip the chair again).

Instead of him taking over the song as the mouth is removed, Melua's lips continue to sing the song and her eyes continue to blink until the very end, when the pieces of her face are put in the bin.
