My Heart was broken in Johannesburg

**Verse 1**  
Oh Johannesburg, city of gold,  
Where my heart was left untold,  
In your streets, I danced and cried,  
With dreams that faded, love that died.  
George took a piece, but he was cruel,  
Left me broken, played me for a fool.  
Albert held another, but he was cheap,  
Promises shallow, love that couldn't keep.  
**Chorus**  
Johannesburg, oh city of dreams,  
Where my heart fell apart at the seams.  
In your shadows, I lost my way,  
Searching for love that wouldn't stay.  
Johannesburg, where my tears fall,  
In your embrace, I gave it all.  
**Verse 2**  
William came with a smile so sweet,  
But his love was a lie, a deceit.  
He took a piece, then turned away,  
Left me longing for brighter days.  
John was kind, a gentle soul,  
But not enough to make me whole.  
In your arms, I sought to mend,  
But found no love that wouldn't end.  
**Bridge**  
Oh, city lights, they shine so bright,  
But in your glow, I lost my fight.  
Pieces scattered, heart in pain,  
In Johannesburg, love's a fleeting game.  
**Outro**  
Johannesburg, where my heart lies,  
In your streets, beneath the skies.  
I left my soul, my broken song,  
In your rhythm, where I belong.  
Johannesburg, oh city of dreams,
