Background: Two 8th graders spoke to FOX 5 NY's Jodi Goldberg about a state-required Earth and Space Science exam they took which they believed was unfair. One of them, Samuel Tae exclaimed: "My Heart Dropped, am I supposed to know this?" The other student, Andy Ryoo, told Goldberg, "The test felt like a reading comprehension test, one of the questions was about toll payments - weather wasn't covered, which is a huge topic, and we spent months on it."

The case was pulled from under the bed
She made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements
The door was closed, there was a note
I couldn't be bothered, maybe I'll choke, no more engagements
With where-have-you-beens and far away frowns
Trying to be good by not being 'round
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug that kills only love
I want to be good, is that not enough
So play me the song that makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
Then play me the song that makes it so tough
She made a call to a sympathetic friend and made arrangements
The door was closed, there was a note
I couldn't be bothered, maybe I'll choke, no more engagements
With where-have-you-beens and far away frowns
Trying to be good by not being 'round
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
That stupid old bug that kills only love
I want to be good, is that not enough
So play me the song that makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart
Then play me the song that makes it so tough
Another Nail For My Heart
I had excuses, those little boy lies
That she computed by watching my eyes and told me firmly
She couldn't stand it, I'm bad on her heart
She dropped her make-up and I found the bar, now it concerns me
I've had a bad time, now love is resigned
I've been such a fool, I've loved and goodbyed
So here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
And here in the bar, the piano man's found
Another nail for my heart
Another Nail In My Heart
I had excuses, those little boy lies

If someone is trying to make you feel sorry for them, especially with the intentions of getting something from you, they are “playing with your heart strings”.
My buddy must be broke again; he called me “playing on my heart strings”. That’s his favorite way to get money without even asking.
