I don’t know whether or not he forfeits, but this classic is about a guy who definitely deeply loves this lass- “why do I love you so?”

Whether he gives up or not, he knows it’s coming to an ending. He’s beside himself and almost lost like a puppy without a home without this woman. I know this feeling when you leave a piece of your heart somewhere with someone and they let you down, they blink before you do. Love dies hard, and this timeless song captures it through every note. When he says “better be on my way, I can’t stay here” it’s like he’s just been let down and at that moment he knows he’s lost her. He’s gotta try to go from the pain. If you have been heartbroken and felt this you can picture the scene around you. You wanted to get out of it.

“The heart wants what the heart wants I guess.”

Diane you’ll always know
