It was something like this, more of a direct hit at the parents. Posting the lyrics does not mean I'm in a position provide anyone with a copy of the song, so PLEASE do not inundate me with requests.

You put a roof over head
And shoes on my feet
Made sure I was fed, yeah
But you weren't there
When I was in need
So who are you now?
Who do you want me to see?
I can forgive you, but I won't relive you
I ain't the same scared kid that I used to be

etc.... I think the song is pretty much the same after the changes to the first verse.

thanks becky.. not a drastic change.. i was just curious.. thought that they were COMPLETELY different from the way people were talking how they shouldn't have changed it, essentially there is not that big of a change

Yes, I asked for Blood on Blood, it is one of my favorite songs, a very special song to me and as I said I had never heard it live before so it was a rarity TO ME... I have no regrets...

I guess it depends on how you look at it. The words themselves aren't much different, but it is more harsh the first way because it's very direct and doesn't really fit the "perfect parents" image. I think it's what Jon meant when he said he was showing some "chinks in the armor."

So, without asking for the song, has an audio file of the version ever been leaked or has the song even been recorded post demo-stage?

Wow. I wouldn't want to be those "parents" you speak of. Are they fictitous or somneone's actual parents? I'm always curious how or why a song's written.

becky, keith urban is such a cool guy!i m gonna let them change backstagejbj.com into beckyonstagewithJBJ.com and i sang the i want to be loved part intenser(harsh)...........so?

The origional lyrics are somethin like;

You put a roof over head
And shoes on my feet
Made sure we were fed
But you weren't there
When I was in need, yeah
So who are you now?
Who do you want me to see?
I can forgive you, but I won't relive you
I ain't the same scared kid I used to be

I wanna live
Do more than survive
I don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna dream
I wanna fly
Just one more thing before I die
I wanna be loved

I found a picture
Our so called family tree, yeah
I broke all the branches
Lookin for answers
Don't you know that ain't how it's supposed to be?

I wanna live
Do more than survive
I don't want the world to pass me by
I wanna dream
I wanna fly
I don't want my life to be a lie
Got so much to give
...(can't figure out this bit)
Just one more thing before I die
I wanna be loved

I ain't gonna cry
I don't wanna scream
But I got so much left unsaid inside of me

I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
I won't let this world just pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna fly
...(can't figure out this bit)
I wanna believe
I'm willing to try
Just one more thing before I die
I wanna be loved

Thank god they changed the fliyng part then.

I like the "just one thing before I die" parts.
