Unraveling Jimmy's Troubled Choices
Lyrics
Jimmy, I really wanna know something

Jimmy, why did you have to do those things
Questioning Jimmy's actions and seeking an explanation for them.
Did you know that they all loved you so?
Inquiring whether Jimmy was aware of the love others had for him.
Now we are not gonna watch them grow
Acknowledging a loss, as they won't witness the growth of those loved by Jimmy.
I just wanna make it right
Expressing a desire to correct or make amends.
Even with my hate inside
Despite harboring hatred, there's an internal struggle for reconciliation.
Jimmy, you've really gone and fucked things up
Noting that Jimmy has significantly disrupted or damaged things.
Jimmy, what was it you were thinking of
Asking about Jimmy's thoughts or intentions behind his actions.
Is it possible it was the girl

Donna would have gone and made your world
Speculating that Donna, the girl, could have positively impacted Jimmy's life.
You just wanna make it right
Expressing a similar desire for making things right.
All that sorrow deep inside
Acknowledging deep sorrow within despite the intent to rectify.
There he goes on murdering
Observing Jimmy engaging in destructive behavior, possibly metaphorical.
There he goes on killing all of his friends
Highlighting Jimmy's harmful actions towards friends.
Oh yeah
An emotional acknowledgment of the preceding lines.

Jimmy, was it all Kevin's non stop talk

Jimmy, without him you could have walked free
Implying that without Kevin, Jimmy could have avoided trouble.
Donna says she has forgiven you
Claiming that Donna forgives Jimmy, though questioning the depth of her understanding.
Though I don't think she has thought things through
Doubting Donna's thorough consideration of the situation.
She's so scared of what's inside
Noting Donna's fear of what lies within Jimmy's mind.
What's inside your clouded mind
Addressing the clouded state of Jimmy's mind.
There he goes on murdering
