Out Of Reach
Sabrina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Knew the signs
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK
But I was
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
So much hurt,
So much pain
Takes a while
To regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time,
You'll be out of my mind
And I'll be over you
But now I'm
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach,
So far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Out of reach,
So far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see




There's a life out there
For me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sabrina's song Out Of Reach speak about a devastating breakup, and the emotions and stages that come along with it. The song shows the singer coming to terms with the fact that the relationship wasn't meant to be and that she was foolish for falling for someone who wasn't right for her in the first place. The lyrics express the confusion that comes after a break-up, the feeling of being out of reach and not being able to connect with the other person anymore. The singer tries to keep herself busy to forget about the pain, but at the same time, she secretly hopes that in time, the other person will be out of her mind, and she can move forward.


The chorus, "Out of reach, so far, I never had your heart," highlights the singer's realization that she was never truly loved by the other person. She was never close enough to their heart, and they were never going to be together in the end. The lyrics "So much hurt, so much pain, Takes a while, to regain what is lost inside," signify the difficult time that comes after a break-up when emotions are raw, and it takes some time to heal. But the idea that there is a life out there for the singer, and that she can move forward, is a beacon of hope.


Overall, Out Of Reach is a song that speaks to anyone who has gone through a tough break-up and is struggling to move on. It highlights the many emotions that come along with the end of a relationship, and ultimately, the hope that there is something better out there.

my first ever romantic relationship just ended yesterday and this song happened to play in spotify a while ago. made me relate to it instantly and rn just like the person in the song, im really questioning if he actually did love despite him oftentimes telling me he did because i just dont believe you can give up on someone you love that easily and instantly. well atleast thats how it is for me. im not sure if i love(d) him and idk if im just making myself feel more dramatic to make what we had seem more real or it really was the way it is anyways kalipong ko but thats it rn im thinking that life will be very mundane without him (everything that we did) in it and i still wanna see him, hear his voice, see him smile and laugh, etc even when were alrdy over i just dont want him out of my life instantly. anyways thats all. i know ill get over this/him eventually and i guess as the song says, there's also a life out there for me. but for now, i just wanna feel this, i just wanna feel everything, and after all this, i'll move on 🍃
