Music Video

The music video's plot supports the claim that the track is about childhood abuse. It portrays an alcoholic who beats his wife and daughter, and at the close of the video is killed by a poison slipped into his drink, apparently by his wife. The wife, as a result, is put in jail, leaving the child an orphan. At the beginning and in the final moments of the video, she is shown writing a letter to her daughter. The video also features the band playing the song.
