It's not enough to say it's not what's in your heart Kimbra Lyrics. Lyrics to 'Diamond' by Good Intent. This part of himself has to repeatedly put up a fight against the other part that is pulling at the husband (the one dressed in black). The part of the wife that does not want to forgive her husband. Her makeup is lighter, her movements throughout the video are softer, more vulnerable, and depict "a giving in."
The "real" wife dressed in black has gloves on indicating that she is not showing her hands (not showing her decision or the cards she has to play).When the husband is walking towards his wife, we see him nervously holding his hat after taking it off, his facial expressions showing both his lust for his wife and the fact that he is unsure about how he will be received by her or what answer she will give him.In the dance sequence at the end of the video, we see the wife dancing with her husband alternating between the three versions of herself, reflecting the push and pull of her conflict as she is dancing with him. The relationship being sung/portrayed is one of a marriage.2.

To show one's hands in a game of cards is to show everything that the person has to play.

Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent They lurk around the opening in twos and threes The shadow of a hunter under your torture "It's not enough to say it's not what's in your heart, You've tainted every moment 'till death do us part" These lyrics further emphasize what the husband said and did, and the wife's perspective regarding this. As such, the necklace has been given to her by her husband (who we see later in the video) who has given the necklace to his wife non-verbally stating and asking the above through a gesture.The wife is looking at her reflection because in the mirror she sees three parts of herself.Next up, we see a man walking down in a dark alleyway.
