It sounds to me like there is something in this section here that ultimately leads her to decide to go back to him:
"In her bag I saw things she drew when she was nine
Like this one here
Her alone, nobody near
"What a shame, let's just not talk about it"
No, it doesn't look like you
But you did wear cowboy boots
That's your thing
There's no question about it"
There's something about that picture of herself that makes her say "what a shame, let's just not talk about it" and then she goes back to HIM. But what is it exactly? Is it that the pic of her all alone upset her so much that she decided she was better off with HIM than alone? Or that she had become so different from the pic of herself alone (it didn't look like her anymore, except for the boots) that she couldn't even be that person anymore - so that the pic of her alone was empowering but still a person she could not be again?
What do others think?
