Cheating on a woman... escape from reality to music... who can say. But those would be literal interpretations and as others have pointed out, making love to a guitar in a literal sense would be interesting.
It could also be that both literally and symbolically, the "woman whose love never dies" and "is always true" is his "mother". It's a common saying that a mother never stops loving her children and the person in this song has identified that, nine times out of ten, a man can't love his mother back "her love is cold" to him, he can't feel it. What he needs is the healthy healing love of a lover to complete him.
He also paints the picture that the relationhsip between him and his mother is dysfunctional, the stereotypical reasons would be self explanatory: single mother abandoned... young man fills the emotional gap... something like that.
So throughout this song there is descriptions of a few different kinds of love, and the opposite, and myths about what is and isn't conditional love and what kills love; and desperation and complication - and real ife in general.
