A scene from the video

The song's music video, filmed on September 25, 2005 on 26th street in New York City, features scenes from Lohan's childhood, depicting her father's drunkenness and family abuse. Lohan directed the video; though she called the shoot a difficult and emotional one, Lohan says she received the support of the cast and crew and she was able to complete the video.[citation needed]

In some scenes, Lohan hides in the bathroom as her parents argue in the living room, while her alter-ego (portrayed by her sister, Aliana) goes into her bedroom and suffers after coming home from ballet class.

All the three rooms (The bathroom where Lohan is, the bedroom where Aliana is and the living room where the parents are) are shown behind a huge plate-glass department store window and people sees her life, frightened and shocked.

In the end, as Lohan stands there behind the glass, photographs of memories fly up onto the "wall", from which she breaks out. Lohan initially wanted to break the glass "wall" herself, but the explosion of glass was added digitally to prevent injuries.
