Jon has said IBTFY was about Dorothea.

I'm not buying how any of the ballads are about anyone in particular apart from Bed Of Roses being about Jon's hangover, cheating and then missing his wife, but the story about Prayer has been repeated several times, and if it would've been Richie's mom and dad I'm sure we'd have known by know. It's like Javier says, suddenly there'll be "interesting" facts about a song no one knew before.
