After going all out for her last video, "What the Hell," eternally scrappy pop-rocker Avril Lavigne has taken a slightly simpler approach to her new video, "Smile," the second single off her latest album, Goodbye Lullaby. "You know I'm a crazy bitch/do what I want when I feel like it," she sings, while flipping her green highlights around and generally being sassy. A man has once again broken her heart, and as we all know by now, Avril Lavigne does not take kindly to this.
But rather than enact any kind of retribution, Avril decides to be the bigger person and take a cleansing walk through the city, smiling at the people she encounters and making them happy. In a wonderfully emo flourish, the wounded Canadian literally picks up the pieces of her heart as she goes along. Apparently, her heart is made of glass, or maybe some type of hard, durable plastic. If only all hearts were so easily mended!
By the end, she has all the pieces back and is feeling much better, with nary an angry snarl in sight. In fact, she looks downright bubbly. Could it be that our angry little skater girl is learning to deal with things in a more grown-up fashion? Watch and decide for yourself.
