The song (and album) title really says it all. It's based on a medical theory called Wolff's Law, which states that a bone will strengthen over time to adapt to the stress/weight/pressure put on it. Applied to a relationship, the song is about the strengthening of love between two people that comes from the struggles between them as they face challenges in their relationship together.
The singer "wants to go along and pretend that it's dawn," suggesting a longing for things to be easier. In the end, however, she opts for "the gambling way," which may not be easier but will make what the two lovers have stronger. She can't ignore the bad things they've gone through, the way she's been hurt (the "empty pictures" for her collage), but she wants them to move forward and knows they'll be better for the pain they've experienced together.
