I know most people relate to this song with reference to an external abuser or physical/mental/emotional trauma they received from a relationship, but this song makes me think about my own relationship with myself.
I hate what my past self has done to present self, but I miss my past self so much. My mind's always noisy and there's no words to drown it out. I'm sorry to myself, how I've made me this way.
I tear up everytime I hear this song.

"there are no words in the english language, i could scream to drown you out." this line reminds me of my mom, it's like there's nothing i could say to her that would get through to her. there's nothing i could possibly say to make her stop being the way she is. it's a heartbreaking line honestly.

“i hate you for what you did, and i miss you like a little kid” this line hits different when i apply this song to my own life and relationship with my parents. it’s like, i know that some of the things they did wasn’t right and i want to hate them for that so bad, but at the same time there’s a part of me that knows that i came never hate them because they’re my parents after all. and yeah, it wasn’t really anything physical (mainly emotional/mental), and they went through stuff like that at the hands of their own parents when they were children, but i was a child too. it’s just such a frustrating feeling.

Lyrics:
I hate you for what you did
And I miss you like a little kid
I faked it every time, but that's alright
I can hardly feel anything, I hardly feel anything at all
You gave me fifteen hundred to see your hypnotherapist
I only went one time, you let it slide
Fell on hard times a year ago
Was hoping you would let it go and you did
I have emotional motion sickness
Somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out
I'm on the outside lookin' through
You're throwin' rocks around your room
And while you're bleeding on your back in the glass
I'll be glad that I made it out
And sorry that it all went down like it did
I have emotional motion sickness
Somebody roll the windows down
There are no words in the English language
I could scream to drown you out
Hey, why do you sing with an English accent?
I guess it's too late to change it now
You know I'm never gonna let you have it
But I will try to drown you out
You said when you met me you were bored
You said when you met me you were bored
And you, you were in a band when I was born
I have emotional motion sickness
I try to stay clean and live without
And I want to know what would happen
If I surrender to the sound
Surrender to the sound

Those first lines, "I hate you for what you did, and I miss you like a little kid" made me burst into tears the first time I heard them because it finally put into words my complex feelings toward my abuser.
Over 70% of assaults against women are committed by a known person. So while one might think it makes sense for a women to hate their abuser and have no positive feelings attached to them, that's rarely the case. A lot of women feel guilt over that because you should hate the person who hurt you, right? But what if that person was your support system, made happy memories with you, etc? It's incredibly confusing and upsetting..
What I'm trying to say is, thank you Phoebe Bridgers for giving women like us a voice.

So many feelings in this song. Yes, she’s condemning him, but she’s also openly admitting to maybe somewhat missing him, thanking him for what little support he did give “you gave me $1500/I was hoping you would let it slide, you did’. She also looks back at his anger “throwing rocks around your room’ and hoping the scars don’t make her possibly relapse “trying to stay clean and live without’. All in all, it’s an incredibly mature set of lyrics for such a young artist. I walked away from this song feeling many things…most of it her heartbreak and relief he is gone.
A seminal song. This one will stick with me for life.

“i hate you for what you did, and i miss you like a little kid” the most devastating opening line ever.
