"Damn, damn, damn, what I'd do to have you here," the punk rock chic wails as the camera closes in on her while soaking wet in a bathtub,  crying about a dozen layers of mascara off.

Via Twitter, Avril said the tears were authentic and it did not need her onions to make herself cry.

“The tears are real . . . no onions!!” she tweeted.

Avril Lavigne's "Wish You Were Here" is part of her newest studio album "Goodbye Lullaby." The release of its MV marks the third video from the said album, following productions for her “What the Hell” and “Smile“ singles.
