There, she walks past her unapologetic boyfriend without looking at him. She proceeds to run out of the grocery store and down the street (from the beginning of the video), and to a guitar shop where she grabs a guitar and walks to the roof of the building, where she is seen performing with her band. He grabs her and tries to pull her into his embrace. The relationship culminates during the song's bridge inside a grocery store, where her boyfriend antagonizes her, insisting that he talk to her. Lavigne and her boyfriend lie in bed together, as she looks at him and he (obviously reeling from a disagreement) stares blankly away. However, as Lavigne sings 'so much for my happy ending,' the memories start losing color. They are also shown goofing off inside a laundromat. At first, the memories (shown in full color) are happy, depicting Lavigne at the park with her boyfriend, as he hands her a flower and they laugh together. The video begins with Lavigne running down Broadway and entering a cinema (the Commodore Cinemas), where she finds the film playing is a montage of her memories concerning a specific relationship she had.
It was shot on location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and Harlem, New York City. The music video for 'My Happy Ending' was written and directed by MTV and Grammy winner Meiert Avis. Lavigne watches scenes with her ex-boyfriend in the cinema.
