I don't think it's about abuse. I think it's just a father who realizes the reality of his situation. He can't afford all the nice things he'd like to give his daughter. At first, he tries to pretend that he can, but gets fed up with it and gets bitter and "crude." He then regains his hope and can comfort his daughter with promises of a better future full of the luxuries he wants for her.
But that's just another opinion.
In other news, I could not possibly love Regina more than I do right now. I listened to this song for the first time five minutes ago and have come to the conclusion that it is ridiculous how amazing she is.
And the contrast between her beautiful voice and the harsh reality of the song is amazing.
