Old bridges, falling over

It's burning out
Sense of something fading away or losing intensity, possibly a relationship or emotion.
Remember, we said how

There comes a time for innocence
Acknowledgment that innocence eventually breaks down or fades as time progresses.
To break down
Highlighting a moment when innocence gives way or collapses.

Exchanging all the little sweets
