The song exists in two versions. One is found on the explicit editions, in which lead singer [[Pierre Bouvier]] sings the word ''fucks'' in the second verse (''and do you think about me when he fucks you''). In the music video and for radio play, the word is omitted and sometimes replaced with ''touches'' (''and do you think about me when he touches you''). This is the second song in which Simple Plan uses ''fuck'', after the demo version of "[[I'm Just a Kid]]" (changed to ''hell'' in the final studio version, though they still use ''fuck'' in live performances). The verses' chord progressions are similar to [[Green Day]]'s "[[Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Green Day song)|Boulevard of Broken Dreams]]" and [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]]' "[[Wonderwall (song)|Wonderwall]]".<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog/2008/04/simple_plan_your_love_is_a_lie_1.shtml Chart Blog.

The video is a straightforward representation of the song. It intersperses shots of the band playing (later in the video, amid wind-blown blossoms) with shots of [[Pierre Bouvier]]'s girlfriend, meeting (and having [[sexual intercourse|sex]]) with another man, while Bouvier, betrayed by the woman, waits in agony in his apartment. His apartment has a view of the man's apartment, with a clear view of a bedroom's window, where he sees them have sex.
