Music video

The music video shows a child, mother and father. The child wakes up in the middle of the night due to his parents fighting. The father gets mad over small things and usually directs his anger at his wife. Anytime the father yells, the child goes up to their room and watches in terror. He quickly manages to retreat back to his room before his father catches him. However, when he's finally caught, the father pins him to the wall and angrily tells him never to do it again. This finally results in his son and wife leaving him. The video features Canadian Idol winner Brian Melo.

Due to the realistic portrayal of domestic violence, the video ended with a black screen displaying two toll-free phone numbers (one of which is Kids Help Phone) for counseling regarding on personal issues. It was shot in Vancouver.
