I'm not from a broken family, but this whole song makes me only think of that. A father singing to his daughter about everything she is to him, and regretful about life's harsh realities and apologetic about the world he's brining her into. He apologizes for the crummy apartment he has when she's over at his place. He tells her to forget the happy times they had as a family in the past--that's over. "Fear and greed" are the simple reasons behind the destruction of marriages. But all in all, he wants her to know that he loves her more than anything in the world.
As a side note, I have no idea why I'm interpreting this song as if the subject were a girl instead of a boy, since the lyrics don't indicate gender. Maybe the band's name subconsciously influenced me into thinking "rosetta" had something to do with the subject of the song.
