No question this is about Bob Dylan. She has said so and so has he.
"...we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust"
Memories can bring feelings that are beautiful and bright, or corrosive and destructive...bittersweet.
I think the line about "I've already paid" means that she has nothing left to give him; the bitter outweighs the sweet and she doesn't want to dredge up their memories.
@mamsel But isn't she dredging up those memories by writing and performing this song? This was one of two songs about Dylan on the same album, the other being "Winds of the Old Days".
