Music video

The music video for the track depicts a family seen through the eyes of the eldest daughter. On the outside, the family are perfectly happy, but it is then revealed that the husband and wife have regular arguments that usually end in the husband beating the wife. The husband is finally arrested by the police, but when the family go to see him, the wife seems to completely forgive him. The video ends with the daughter leaving home, and hugging her mother goodbye, while the father lies in prison. After this, a picture appears advertising Refuge.
