Se Me Deixasses Ser Lyrics in English Tiago Bettencourt

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Me Deixasses Ser by Tiago Bettencourt from Portuguese to English.
If you'd let me be
The place you can come back to
After the day turns to dusk
Or when the night grabs you
The strong body that stays
The home to remain
The home to return to
If you'd let me be
Wherever it is
If the movie were mine
In the fight against evil
Everything that hurts you
Would die in the end
And when the darkness won't pass
And blinds you like a prison
I'll rescue you
Wash your heart
If you'd let me be
If I were in charge
I'd make you see
Facing the cliff
Hand in hand
If you wanna jump today
I wanna be the reason
If you wanna jump today
I wanna be the reason
If you made me believe
In the place I can come back to
For a day to turn to dusk
Or when the night rests
In the home to remain
On the stone we call ground
To see myself again
Wash your heart
If you made me believe
If I were in charge
I'd make you see
Facing the cliff
Hand in hand
If you wanna jump today
I wanna be the reason
If you wanna jump today
I wanna be the reason
If you wanna jump today
I wanna be the reason
If you wanna jump today
I wanna be the reason
