This song is about a "sacrifice" that a married couple "think" they are making, by separating/divorcing, - perhaps because of infidelity, or they dont agree anymore, or things are not the same anymore between them. By being away from eachother, there would be no more fights or arguments, but actually the deep rooted feeling inside the two of them, is LONELINESS (in the video you can see, the husband sleeping hugging a pillow, and dancing with his little girl, and you can see the wife sitting in an armchair reading old love letters. Is this really a sacrifice?? Or just pride, misunderstandings between 2 hearts... the one who bears this sacrifice is the child, eventually....
@planetvalerina I think you are right about this. This song really hits home for me as I went through a divorce 10 years ago partly because of an affair I had in my marriage. She decided that she needed to end our 26-year marriage , and we had a 12 year daughter caught in the middle. I didn't want the divorce and it hurt like hell for years, even though I got married again after a few years. You're right.. the child is the one who really bears the sacrifice, and both of us miss the family...

You're right.. the child is the one who really bears the sacrifice, and both of us miss the family we once had. It can never be the same after something like this happens, and there is great loss for everyone, I think. A tragedy. Still hurts.

@planetvalerina I can disagree. If you have truly loved someone, it is a sacrifice. And of course, the child pays the bill.
