Amy Lee in the burning scene.The music video for "Good Enough" was filmed between June 11 and June 14, 2007 on Váci utca (Váci street) in Budapest, Hungary. The video was directed by Marc Webb and Rich Lee, and produced by production company DNA.
On July 30, 2007 an unfinished version of the video was leaked onto the Internet. This copy included minor unedited special effects replaced with descriptions (for example: "mirror melts"). The official, finished version was released on September 10, 2007 during the television series Total Request Live on MTV, with Amy Lee attending to present the video, as previously announced on the Evanescence website.
The video opens in a scene that shows Amy burying a photograph in a hole in the floorboards. The lyrics start, and she walks away, as the same hole closes up behind her. She picks up a book, heads towards her desk, and writes on it some verses of the song (Can't let go of this dream/I can't breathe but I feel/Good Enough/for you to love me too, though the last line is not clear). A curly design grows on the diary as she approaches a tall mirror, she looks in it and it starts to melt. She walks away towards the piano in a raised floor. Some candles, a bulb and a glass start to melt, while the wall painting and a record begin to burn. Then, as she sings And I've completely lost myself a bookshelf catches fire, causing the whole room to burn ablaze. As the second chorus fades, raindrops fall on the piano's keys, and then all over the room, extinguishing the fire as she sings And I'm still waiting for the rain to fall. Pour real life down on me. The room is shown burnt and wasted. Just as Amy sings for you to love me too, a small vine grows up from a floorboard, and they expand to the whole set. The sun lights the room, and in the very end of the song, blue flowers blossom from the vines in the piano.
