She sings: "Hand to God, I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned.

"It's not what you did / It’s what you didn’t / You were there, but you weren't."

Perry also belts out: "Got so used to you letting me down / No use tryna send flowers now.

"Telling myself you'll change, you don't / Band-Aids over a broken heart."

In the song's second verse, the lyrics hint at the steps she took to try to fix the relationship.

"Tried all the medications / Lowered my expectations," the lyrics read. "Made every justification / Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow."

She also sings about the Lord of the Rings star not putting in any effort.

"It’s not that complicated / To ask me how my day is.

"I’m flatlining trying to save this."

At the beginning of the video, released on Thursday, she also drops a ring in the drain and tries to fish it out with her hand while washing dishes.

Perry made headlines in September 2024 when she shared that she rewarded Bloom with oral sex when he did chores around the house, specifically noting he did the dishes over the weekend when their housekeeper wasn’t there.

"So it’s like, if I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all, and you've done all the dishes, and you've closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d--k sucked.

"I mean, literally. That is my love language."
