Jake Miller - A Million Lives lyrics

rate me

The other day I got an email,

I 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 dancer

Till the day 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 it or not, you've saved my life.

(Yeah)

Chorus:

I've met a million people, been in 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 in 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.

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 Dylan, I'm in 7th grade

I'm ridiculed and picked obn almost every day

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 let me tell you the real reason for this letter

You've helped me through it all, you've helped me feel better

Your words give me confidence, your messages inspire me,

You help me find my inner strength deep inside of me,

Through all the bad times, you've helped me find the light

Believe it or not, you've saved my life.

[Chorus:]

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 Sammy 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 feeling that I just can't describe

Its like I got my brother back, and he's still alive

I pray for both of you, every single night

Cause believe it or not, you've saved my life

[Chorus:]

Now let me turn the table, and talk to you

I had a dream, but youy're the reason that it's coming 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 one 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've saved my life
