This interpretation received a very strong reaction on YouTube if you care to read comments, here. They're lovely.
There is also another interpretation that is quite good if you'd like to compare. A beautiful woman on a beach in summer white cotton dress.
Another very good one that is quite different from all the rest, Phillip Hayes and Caroline Moyer treating the song as duet, both interpret uniquely, much more idiosyncratic and colloquial, they are both exceedingly clear while steering away from textbook style. They sign more like CODA and actual deaf. Dramatic and stark in black and white. Very nice.
Lovely reliable Soph has a fan to work her hair. Precise textbook, on beat with tremendous fidelity to the music and poetry. Her "time" actually "flies." Compelling straightforward and clear interpretation.
An attractive black girl interprets well but doesn't care about tempo or the poetry.
Wow.
This song got people POW right in their cardiovascular systems. There are dozens of people taken this up, every age, every sex imaginable, every race and nationality, smitten to smithereens.
Have a look if you like. They're all prosaically monotonous as H-E-double metronomes. I'm so sick of this intro I could barf a beginner's piano étude. Everybody's acting all emotionally rejected. But still strong. But broken. But gracious in losing. But angry.

Mmm...beautiful music, pitiful lyrics. Great pop music, anyway.
Lots of emotive energy. So much I had to get out and go read the lyrics in black and white, where I took in enough to know I didn't want to enter back into that swirl of enticing emo and distorted perceptions. The woman in the video definitely presents with an openness that has drawing power.
For the woman in the song however, it isn't over. She can't stay away and leave the guy alone with the choice he made. She isn't wishing for nothing but the best for him and she's not likely to find someone just like him. If she does, chances are good he'll wise up when he finds himself stuck in that much goo and leave too.
Best if she closes her ears to what people are saying, determines what she liked and didn't like about the guy, expresses the pain one on one with someone who knows how to listen and seeks the help needed to uncover her needs, desires and destructive life patterns.
