Robin Thicke Desperately Tries To "Get Her Back" In New Music Video

This is about as subtle as a train wreck!
Robin Thicke has released the music video for his new single "Get Her Back," and while we feel some pity for the 37-year-old crooner, it's because this is super embarrassing to watch.
"Get Her Back" is from Thicke's upcoming album Paula, which is a not-so-subtle a tribute to his estranged wife, Paula Patton. The video starts with a shot of a text message that reads, "I kept trying to warn you you were pushing me too far…" and then we see the singer shirtless with blood coming from his nose. Maybe this is a visual metaphor for Robin kicking himself over all his bad decisions? After what he reportedly put Patton through, we certainly hope so.
While the lyrics make it pretty clear that Thicke is STILL trying to make it up to Patton ("I never should have raised my voice or made you feel so small / I never should have asked you to do anything at all / I should have kissed you longer / I should have held you stronger," he croons), it's the texts in the video that really tell the story.
The not so cryptic messages include: "You drink too much," "You embarrassed me," "I can't make love to you anymore," and "I don't even know who you are." Then we see another in which Thicke apparently says, "I wrote a whole album about you," to which the sender replies, "I don't care." We hope Paula sent him that!
In February the news broke that Thicke and Patton had decided to end their marriage after eight and a half years. "We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," Patton said in a statement. Last month she appeared in Vanity Fair and she didn't exactly say they were reconciling, but it did seem like she was leaving the door open when she told the mag, "We've known each other since we were teenagers. All I can tell you is there's a deep love there—always was, and always will be."
