Katy Perry is never one to hold anything back.

The singer performed her new song “Wide Awake” at the Billboard Music Awards last night, a song written for her upcoming 3D documentary movie and which appears to specifically address her recent divorce from comedian Russell Brand.

“I’m wide awake. I was in the dark, I was falling hard with an open heart. How did I read the stars so wrong. I was dreaming for so long. I wish I knew then what I know now. I wouldn’t dive in, I wouldn’t bow down,” she sings.

But the song isn’t about the singer wallowing in heartbreak for long, at least.

“Not losing any sleep,” she says. “I picked up every piece and landed on my feet.”

“Need nothing to complete myself. I am born again, outta the lion’s den. I don’t have to pretend. The story’s over now, the end.”

If the song is as autobiographical as it sounds, she’s moved on. Good for her.
