"Wasting All These Tears" is a song recorded by American country music singer Cassadee Pope, written by Caitlyn Smith and Rollie Gaalswyk.

"[3] Giving it 3.5 stars out of 5, Matt Bjorke of Roughstock said that "While "Wasting All These Tears" is clearly a modern Country/Pop song, there's nothing here that says that it couldn't crossover into the pop realm, something Pope and her label likely had in their minds all along.

Still, despite the crossover nature of the track, Pope delivers a strong sense of attitude and connects with the lyrics and that's more than enough to suggest the birth of a potential star.

[5] Newsday's Glenn Gamboa was also critical commenting that "Cassadee may want to claim a country base, but her vocals are still closer to Avril Lavigne than Carrie Underwood" and that "songs like "Wasting All These Tears" feel hollow and misplaced".

[8] The re-recorded version of the song was released on October 13, 2023, with more prominent electric guitars and upbeat drums, as part of Cassadee's return to the pop punk genre.
