YouTube\/@katyperry<\/p>\n In the song\u2019s second verse, the lyrics hint at the steps she took to try to fix the relationship.<\/p>\n \u201cTried all the medications \/ Lowered my expectations,\u201d the lyrics read. \u201cMade every justification \/ Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow.\u201d<\/p>\n She also sings about her partner not putting in any effort.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not that complicated \/ To ask me how my day is,\u201d the lyrics read. \u201cI\u2019m flatlining trying to save this.\u201d<\/p>\n Perry sings about trying to save a dying relationship in the song.

As she sings about the relationship being \u201cworth it at the end,\u201d she sees a daisy \u2014 a nod to her and Bloom\u2019s 5-year-old daughter, Daisy.<\/p>\n She also sings about her partner not making any effort, the lyrics reading, \u201cIt\u2019s not that complicated \/ To ask me how my day is \/ I\u2019m flatlining trying to save this.\u201d YouTube\/@katyperry<\/p>\n But she later expresses having no regrets about the relationship despite it ending, referencing their 5-year-old daughter, Daisy.

Perry made headlines in September 2024 when she shared that she rewarded Bloom with oral sex<\/a> when he did chores around the house, specifically noting he did the dishes over the weekend when their housekeeper wasn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n \u201cSo it\u2019s like, if I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you\u2019ve done it all, and you\u2019ve done all the dishes, and you\u2019ve closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d\u2013k sucked,\u201d she candidly shared during her appearance on \u201cCall Me Daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, literally. That is my love language,\u201d she continued. \u201cI don\u2019t need a red Ferrari! I can buy a red Ferrari. Just do the f\u2013king dishes! I will suck your d\u2013k! It\u2019s that easy.\u201d<\/p>\n But in the music video, Perry\u2019s hand turns into a bloody mess after she accidentally turns on the garbage disposal with her hand in the drain, another signal to the demise of the relationship.<\/p>\n Reps for Perry and Bloom didn\u2019t immediately respond to Page Six\u2019s requests for comment. <\/p>\n Perry and Bloom split in June after nearly 10 years together.
