Description

This song says, "I love YOU, not your looks". Pity the video proves quite the contrary. Still a good song with a good message.

Explanations

TO HOLD= to embrace, to hug

GO TO WASTE= be wasted, spoiled, ruined


SOUL= spirit, the immortal part of us


TO CHASE= to persecute, to go after (in this case, to woo)


TO THINK OVER= to ponder on it, to think about something carefully for some (or a long) time

I’M JUST FINE= I’m ok, I don’t have any problems with it

MOVE FORWARD= literally means "to advance, to move ahead", and in this context it means "to go deeper into a relationship with you; to try to be your boyfriend or to get more engaged"

I’LL EASE YOUR MIND= I’ll calm you down, I’ll make your worries disappear

CHANCE= opportunity

C’MON= come on

Meaning

On a blog, I found a post by a girl saying:
what does the song actually mean though cuz [because] my b/f [boyfriend] dedicated it to me and my friend told me that it means he thinks I'm ugly but he loves me anyways lol [Laugh Out Loud = Ha, Ha, Ha!] i dont know if thats true but i asked him and he said that its not what it means so what does it mean?

The news is that he isn't calling you ugly. he's saying that looks aren't everything, that what you are, your soul, your personality, is much more important, it's what made him fall in love with you (well, we still don't know if you're ugly or not)
