Jake Miller - A Million Lives lyrics

Yeah the other day I got an email
Almost didn't read it
But something caught my eye right
Before I could delete it
It was bold and underlined
"Please Read" was the title
Followed by "Jake you are my idol"
It said and I quote
"My name is Nikki and I used to be a dancer
Until the doctor diagnosed me with cancer
So I said goodbye to all the hair on my head
And hello to my hospital bed
Yeah, see, I was just a normal girl
It happened so fast
There were so many days that I
Thought would be my last
However, the fight was tough
And the battle was long
But, I felt strong when I
Listened to your songs
You were always there for me
You helped my heart beat
You were my only friend, kept you on repeat
I thank God for you every single night
'Cause believe or not, you saved my life"

I've met a million people
Been a million places
Shook a million hands, seen a million faces
I've had a million lows
And a million more highs
No, I haven't made a million
But, I've touched a million lives
I've met a million people
Been a million places
Shook a million hands, seen a million faces
I've had a million lows
And a million more highs
No, I haven't made a million, but I, but I

Yeah, the mailman knocked, said it was for me
Handed me a box, sent from Tennessee
Written on the top "for Jake's eyes only"
Inside was a journal and letter
That he wrote me
It said, "My name is Dillon I'm in 7th grade
I'm ridiculed and picked on almost everyday
Yeah, they push me in the
Halls in between my classes
Yesterday they took my books
Then broke my glasses
I got no one to talk to
It's like I don't exist
Sometimes I wonder if I was gone
Would I be missed? But lemme tell the real
Reason for this letter
You've helped me through it all
You help me feel better
Your words give confidence
Your message is inspiring
You help me find my inner
Strength deep inside me
Through all the bad times
You helped me find the light
Believe or not, you saved my life"

I've met a million people
Been a million places
Shook a million hands, seen a million faces
Had a million lows, and a million more highs
No, I haven't made a million
But, I've touched a million lives
I've met a million people
Been a million places
Shook a million hands, seen a million faces
Had a million lows, and a million more highs
No, I haven't made a million, but I, but I

I was sittin' at my table
At dinner the other night
When I noticed a little girl
Sittin' to my right
She was lookin' at me like she knew me
I guess she did
'Cause then she walked right up to me
And then she said
"My name is Sami and I swear
That I'm your biggest fan"
I think she even had my
Name written on her hand she said
"Me and my brother used to
Listen to you every day
Until last year, when he passed away
I'll never forget seein' my parents cry
When they got a call sayin'
That your son had died
Man, I wish that he was here now
You were his favorite
He had your mixtape and
Never stopped playin' it
Your music gives me a feelin'
That I just can't describe
It's like I got my brother back
And hes still alive
I pray for both of you, every single night
'Cause believe or not, you saved my life"

I've met a million people
Been a million places
Shook a million hands, seen a million faces
Had a million lows, and a million more highs
No, I haven't made a million
But, I've touched a million lives
I've met a million people
Been a million places
Shook a million hands, seen a million faces
Had a million lows, and a million more highs
No, I haven't made a million, but I, but I

Now lemme turn the table, and talk to you
I had a dream
But, you're the reason that it's comin' true
Yeah, I've had some dark days
When the sun don't shine
But, you always reminded me that
I would be fine 'Cause when no else cared
You believed in my vision
And now I got an army comin'
With me on my mission
I thank God for all you, every single night
'Cause believe or not, you saved my life
