Well I wish there was someone
Well I wish there was someone
To love me

When I used to be someone
And I knew there was someone
That loved me

As I sit here frozen alone
Even ghosts get tired and go home
As they crawl back under the stones

And I wish there was something
Please tell me there's something better
And I wish there was something more than this
Saturated loneliness

And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
Abduct it, corrupt it, but I never can
it's just saturated loneliness

Does the silence get lonely?
Does the silence get lonely?
Who knows?
I've been hearing it tell me
I've been hearing it tell me
Go home

Cause the freaks are playing tonight
They packed up and turned out the lights

And I wish there was something
Please tell me there's something better
And I wish there was something more than this
Saturated loneliness

And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
Abduct it, corrupt it, but I never can
It's just saturated loneliness

And the bath waters cold
And this life's getting old

And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
Abduct it, corrupt it
And I wish I could feel it
And I wish I could steal it
And I wish I could feel it
Abduct it, corrupt it
But I never can
I never can
Never Can
Never Can
Never Can

    General Comment:wow. this is the song that got me into Korn. when I first heard it, i just couldn't stop listening. I was going through a rough breakup too, this connected with my situation perfectly. His voice is just amazing.. full of emotion and tragedy, so beautiful, yet so sincere.
    Korn is amazing overall, true fact.

    General Comment:Korn has always ended their albums on a strong note. The last song of the album is always filled with deep emotion and meaning for the singer. "Daddy", "No One's There", "When Will This End" are just some examples. "Tearjerker" is one of those songs.

    This song reaches deeply into my soul, and it makes me cry. Especially the part towards the end when the drums come in and John sings:

    And I wish I could feel it
    And I wish I could feel it

    Like he is crying out in desperation, letting out all the pain and hopelessness that is inside him.

    This feeling is beyond description for me, and I'm thankful for this song for voicing how I really feel. Victor Hugo once said, "music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent". This song is what he is talking about.

    General Comment:All you people who say he's bitching and moaning burn in the fiery pits of hell with satan.Jon has been through too much in his life to be told he's bitching and moaning,yes,he may be rich as all hell,but money doesn't heal a broken family,heart or home.So stfu,for any korn fans sitll out there,Keep rockin.
    This song reminds me of the deftones.:]
