Katy Perry is sharing a look inside her heartbreak following her split from Orlando Bloom.

In the video, Perry has a series of Final Destination-esque accidents after dropping her ring down the garbage disposal, surviving all but a gas station explosion at the very end.

โ€œHand to God I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned / Itโ€™s not what you did / Itโ€™s what you didnโ€™t / You were there but you werenโ€™t,” Perry begins the song. “Got so used to you letting me down / No use trying to send flowers now / Telling myself youโ€™ll change you don’t / Bandaids over a broken heart.”

Perry continues to acknowledge the “good times” in her relationship, singing that they “never faked [their] pictures,” and noting that “the love that we made was worth it in the end,” in reference to 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, who is referenced in the music video with a daisy flower during the lyric.

Perry also sings about trying to save her relationship as she sinks into quicksand near the end of the video. “Tried all the medications / Lowered my expectations / Made every justification / Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow / Bandaids over a broken heart,” she concludes the song.

Perry and Bloom confirmed that they had split on July 3, releasing a statement affirming their dedication to co-parenting their daughter.

โ€œDue to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perryโ€™s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,โ€ the statement read, as perย PEOPLE. โ€œThey will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is โ€” and always will be โ€” raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.โ€

Perry has since been romantically linked with former Canadian prime ministerย Justin Trudeau, revealing during her Oct. 30 Lifetimes Tour performance in Prague that she was “dating someone” again.
