Well I was outside in the snow
(when I first felt this pain)
Picturesque was the skyline
(I could feel the burning shame)
For letting love go
(To endure the cold alone)
Alone, alone, alone…

Now!

I am drunk on your absence
(At least you've got friends)
I’ll be throwing punches with my life
(Yet you lost it)
So I’ll live like I don’t remember
(But I do, oh I do… Oh I do…)

And I'll be
A distant memory
Why can't you see?
That I'll be
A thing of the past, a postcard or a photograph
A distant memory is all I can be

Some will call me a doctor
(Is there any use getting through?)
I'm like an old dress tattered and torn
(That she doesn't want to wear)
No more
Of this I say
I… I… I… 

(Chorus)

This is
Ugly
I don't want to be
Awake with me
This is
Ugly
I don't want to be
A distant memory
