Out Of The Picture
The Robins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm all alone lost without you what shall I do?
Out of the picture out of the frame
And now when you see me nothings the same
Your lips are kissing somebody new
I'm out of the picture out of the view
Smile for I've got nothing to smile for
But I'd still run a mile for any wish you desire
Out of your heart now gone is the flame
I'm out of the picture out of the frame
Out of the picture out of the frame
Your lips are kissing somebody new
Smile for I've got nothing to smile for
But I'd still run a mile for any wish you desire
Dreams we made have faded
Out of your heart now gone is the flame
I'm out of the picture out of the frame
Please come back to me because I don't want to be
Out of the picture
The lyrics of The Robins' song Out Of The Picture express the heartbreak and loneliness that one experiences after a relationship has ended. The singer's ex-lover has moved on with someone else, leaving them feeling irrelevant and forgotten, as if they are a mere afterthought in their ex's life. The song's repetitive phrase "out of the picture, out of the frame" highlights this feeling of being erased or forgotten.
The singer still longs for their ex, despite the pain they have caused them. They express that they would do anything to regain their ex's affection, even though they know that their love has faded. They are left feeling hopeless and lonely, with nothing to smile about. The final plea for their ex to come back shows how desperate they are to regain the happiness they once shared.
Overall, the song captures the universal experience of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. The repetition of certain phrases adds emphasis to the feelings of loneliness and forgottenness that the singer is experiencing.

You left me you sent me through
You abandoned me and it put me in a difficult situation
I'm all alone lost without you what shall I do?
I feel completely isolated and don't know how to move forward without you
Out of the picture out of the frame
You have removed me completely from your life and I am no longer a part of it
And now when you see me nothings the same
Things have changed so much that even seeing me won't bring back what we had before
Your lips are kissing somebody new
You have moved on and found someone else
I'm out of the picture out of the view
I am completely out of sight and out of mind for you
Smile for I've got nothing to smile for
I have no reason to be happy anymore
But I'd still run a mile for any wish you desire
I would still do anything for you, no matter how difficult or painful it may be
Dreams we made have faded
All of the hopes and plans we had together have disappeared
Out of your heart now gone is the flame
Your love for me has vanished completely
I'm out of the picture out of the frame
I am still completely out of your life and feel forgotten
Please come back to me because I don't want to be
I am begging you to return to me because I cannot bear to be alone without you
