"She Can't Say I Didn't Cry" is a mid-tempo ballad performed primarily with acoustic guitar and piano, being accompanied by steel guitar and drums when the chorus builds up.
The narrator of the song responds to things his former lover said of their relationship by admitting that he can't deny that he broke her heart and did nothing to make her stay. He then says in the chorus that she can't say he didn't cry about it afterward.
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song negatively saying that while Trevino proves himself to be a "competent ballad singer", the song "doesn't give him a lot to work with."[2]
The music video was directed by Gerry Wenner and premiered in May 1994.
"She Can't Say I Didn't Cry" debuted at number 66 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of June 4, 1994.
