Katy Perry\u00a0<\/a>and Orlando Bloom<\/a> split in June after nine years together<\/a>, following much speculation about their relationship status. Now, the singer has seemingly revealed the cause behind their downfall in her new single, “Bandaids<\/a>.” Katy released the track and music video on Thursday, which shows her singing about trying to save a dying relationship while she survives several near-fatal accidents. The lyrics appear to give a glimpse into the end of her relationship with Orlando, as she sings about being “let down.”<\/p>\n

“Hand to God, I promise I tried \/ There’s no stone left unturned,” Katy sings. “It’s not what you did \/ It’s what you didn’t \/ You were there, but you weren’t. 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.”<\/p>\n

In the song’s second verse, Katy sings about the steps she took to try and save the relationship despite her partner failing to put in the effort. “Tried all the medications \/ Lowered my expectations. Made every justification \/ Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow. It’s not that complicated \/ To ask me how my day is. I’m flatlining trying to save this.”<\/p>\n

Despite the relationship failing, Katy sings about having no regrets. “If I had to do it all over again \/ I would still do it all over again,” she sings. “The love that we made was worth it in the end.” While Katy doesn’t name her partner in the song, one huge hint that it is about Orlando is a moment in the music video when she catches sight of a daisy, a touching nod to their daughter, Daisy Dove<\/a>, five, as she sings about the relationship being “worth it at the end.”<\/p>\n
