Music video plan

I am going to make my music video to the song Message from your heart by Kina Grannis in a narrative style.
My main idea for the video is to display the moral of to love yourself. As the song lyrics are from a 'hearts' perspective, I have decided to have a girl who is followed by another girl in a heart t-shirt. This would mean that the personified heart would become a literal heart that would at first come across as weird to the girl, because at first she doesn't like herself, but as the song goes on the girl and the heart would become almost friends, to represent her growing the love herself.
The video will be in a narrative style as the message of the video implies progression which would be easily shown through a story. I would like to have parts where there is some performance or scenes of nature and sunlight as the song is quite upbeat and is of pop/acoustic style.

Description:
At the start of the video, the Girl will be looking at her reflection and showing she doesn't like herself by her facial expression. It cuts to her looking on her dining table which has a note addressed to her. As she reads, the lyrics of the first verse are mimed by her until 'I don't work for free' where she places the note back and walks away. As the Girl walks through her corridor a female in a Heart t shirt is behind her singing the last lyrics of the verse 'Please take care of me.'
The chorus starts, the heart person starts talking to the Girl (miming the chorus lyrics). The Girl is frightened so runs. There will be a chase scene during the chorus.
The second verse will begin with the two walking back to the Girl's house and entering the house, the Girl is exhausted but the Heart is fine. The lyrics 'My rhythm soothing like raindrops steady on foggy windows as you gaze outwardly.' will be acted out by the Girl looking out of the window and then giving the Heart weird looks as is starts tapping on the window.
Chorus two will begin with the Girl receiving a text message from the Heart, see the Heart using red paint to make a picture (which is to act out the lyrics 'taking blood and making art). 'Pounding away into the dark' will be acted out by the Heart making noise while the girl is reading.
Throughout the last lyrics the Heart mimes the 'bump bump bump' wherever they are. Where it begins 'Everytime you sleep.' the Heart is making the bed for the Girl. This is the point where the Girl is starting to be more comfortable with the Heart. 'Everytime you eat'- Heart preparing lunch. 'Everytime you laugh' the Girl and Heart laughing together. 'Everytime you cry' they're watching a sad film and the Heart's comforting her. And finally, 'Everytime you love' the Girl is looking around for the Heart and as she does she goes past her appearance but this time she likes is. The last shot is of the note from the begining saying 'This is a message from your heart.'

I hope this idea is rather comical and shows the moral of to love yourself.
