The opamp output can only swing to the rails or close to it depending on the opamp.If your output signal is larger then your rail voltage you get clipping.See here.

** More than one possible explanation exists - since the characteristics of your " amplifier " have not been defined.Define them now.

Saturation of the amp? Over driving the input? incorrect amp type ? something wrong with the amp?
