I Cross My Heart
Scotty McCreery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a new love full of passion that can sometimes make you blind
I don't mind being swept away if I know right from the start
So before we go much further girl, can I trust you with my heart?
In the time we've spent together I have learned to trust in you
So many things you've given before I even asked you to
But reality and romance are sometimes far apart
Can I cast my cares upon you, can you stand a heavy load
Can I count on you to walk me down that long and winding road
If you promise me these simple things I can guaranty
You can always count on me
Can I cast my cares upon you, can you stand a heavy load
Can I count on you to walk me down that long and winding road
If you promise me these simple things I can guaranty
You can always count on me
When two hearts surrender and are sworn to understand
It completes a perfect union between a woman and a man
So please don't misunderstand me I don't want to go too far
Without knowing just one answer girl, can I trust you with my heart?
Can I trust you with my heart?

McCreery sings about the need to know if he can trust the person he loves with his heart - if they will truly be there for him during the good times and the bad. He asks whether they can handle the weight of his emotions and commit to a long-term, fulfilling relationship.
The chorus reveals the core question of the song: "Can I cast my cares upon you, can you stand a heavy load? Can I count on you to walk me down that long and winding road?" It's not about superficial things like material possessions or physical attraction, but rather, the emotional support that is crucial to any lasting love.

Overall, "Can I Trust You With My Heart?" is a heartfelt ballad that captures the essence of falling in love and the importance of trust in a relationship. It acknowledges the risks of opening up to someone and hoping for the best, but also celebrates the joy and completeness that comes with finding true love.
