Change Your Mind (song)

**"Change Your Mind"** is the second track on RAYE’s debut mini-album Euphoric Sad Songs.

## Background

In a documentary Raye uploaded to her YouTube channel she explained that she used actual text messages that she had sent to someone.

> ”So Change Your Mind is so funny, because I actually used the text messages that I sent in the chorus. I literally texted “I wish that I was drunk so I could blame it on the wine”. Something like that, I was saying all these words by text. And then I was on the plane, I was going to Sweden. And I was reading the text and I was like: “Do you know what? This will be the lyrics”. It’s just a very like real emotion. It’s like they’re just words that I said in real life I just put melodies to.”

## Lyrics

And I wish that I was drunk

So I could blame it on the wine

Wish that I was high so I could take it

But there's nothing in my veins

To steal the pain that comes around

On Friday nights with plus one invitations

You once said that I was perfect

And I was just wondering

What changed your mind?

Same, feel the same

Wish you did too, but I know you don't

Everybody wants what they can't have

You can always hope, you say you never will

How do I heal with all of my demons

When my angel left me alone?

You used to let me share your halo

Let me share your halo

Lo-lo-low, lo-lo-low

I'm so low down

Lo-lo-low, lo-lo-low

I'm so low down

Got my cheek pressed to the floor, floor, floor

Then my girls had to peel me off right now

Lo-lo-low, lo-lo-low

Lo-low, low, low

This is low, this is low as I can go

I can go, oh

I wish that I was drunk

So I could blame it on the wine

Wish that I was high so I could take it

But there's nothing in my veins

To steal the pain that comes around

On Friday nights with plus one invitations

But I still have to ask you

After all this time, mm

You said I was perfect

What made you change your mind?

Oh, you don't

Care that I'm crying and I know you won't

Get how it feels to be all alone

I know you'll let me go

Do you know it shows?

How do I heal without the conclusion?

And I need to fix what you broke

You used to let me share your halo

Let me share your halo

Lo-lo-low, lo-lo-low

I'm so low down

Lo-lo-low, lo-lo-low

I'm so low down

Got my cheek pressed to the floor, floor, floor

Then my girls had to peel me off right now

Lo-lo-low, lo-lo-low

Lo-low, low, low

This is low, this is low as I can go

I can go, oh

I wish that I was drunk

So I could blame it on the wine

Wish that I was high so I could take it

But there's nothing in my veins

To steal the pain that comes around

On Friday nights with plus one invitations

I still have to ask you

After all this time, mm

You said I was perfect

What made you change your mind?

Ooh, whatever you do, whatever you do

Ooh, whatever you do

I know I'm gonna miss you

I know I'm gonna miss the shit out of you, baby

Ooh, wherever you are

I wish I was, I wish I was right there with you

Ooh, whatever you do

Ooh, I wish I was with you

(I know I'm gonna miss you)

I know I'm gonna miss you

Wish I was right there

I wish I was right

In your arms tonight

Would you hold me like you used to in your bed

With your arms around me?

Sleeping alone

I wish I was home

I wish you were home
