About The Song
In 1993, Billy Ray Cyrus’ “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore” was released as the penultimate track off his debut album, Some Gave All – which was the top-selling album in 1992 and was certified 9x Platinum. It’s also the same album that released “Achy Breaky Heart,” the most notable single of his career, and is on top of Billy Ray Cyrus’ greatest hits.
Meanwhile, “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore” reached a peak of No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and enjoyed bigger success in Canada, where it peaked at No. 3 on the RPM Country Singles chart.
Written by Cyrus with songwriters Terry Shelton and Buddy Cannon, the mid-tempo ballad tells the tale of a man filled with regrets for letting her woman down. He wasn’t there when she needed him, and he took her love for granted.
Unfortunately, things are too late for him now as she already found a new man to take his place – someone that puts a smile upon her face.
“If I knew then what I know now, another tear would never fall. ‘Cause I’d give our love my all if we could work things out somehow,” the man expressed his regrets. Truly, these bittersweet lyrics are enough to keep us reminded that we should improve our chances of regretting nothing in a relationship that only comes once in a lifetime.
The song is accompanied by a music video wherein actress Deena Dill portrayed Cyrus’ former girlfriend, who left him for another man after treating her so badly. It is intermixed with Cyrus’ live performance of the song. You can watch the short clip of “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore” by Billy Ray Cyrus below. It may be a blast from the past, but the country superstar proves his talent is as outstanding as ever.

Lyrics
… She used to cry when I’d come home late
She couldn’t buy the lies I told
All she wanted was to be needed
Someone that she could call her own
The love I know I took for granted
Until she walked out of my door
Too little too late to say I’m sorry
‘Cause she’s not cryin’ anymore
… She’s not cryin’ anymore
She ain’t lonely any longer
There’s a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She’s not cryin’ anymore
… I hear she’s really doin’ well now
She’s picked herself up off the ground
I wasn’t there when I was needed
But I was there to let her down
Sometimes you know I feel so foolish
If I knew then what I know now
Another tear would never fall
‘Cause I’d give our love my all
If we could work things out somehow
… There’s a smile upon her face
A new love takes my place
She’s not cryin’ any more
