It was too dark and either the camera wasn't able to focus properly, or the shutter speed was too slow and blurred the pic. It looks out of focus to me... is it a phone pic? But the same rules apply - in order to record a decent image enough light must hit the sensor.
If you want to take photos in gloomy conditions you either need a decent flash or some other means of illuminating the subject, or you need to use a long exposure and keep the camera very still, resting it on a firm surface or tripod.
