Meaning
This points to the limits of time as a cure. The line can be taken to mean that pain may fade less because it is solved than because life changes shape around it, and distance, emotional or physical, gives the wound room to soften. It lands after a breakup, loss, or betrayal, when moving away from the source of hurt feels like the only relief.
