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 let me be
The place where you can return
After the day fades
Or when the night grabs you
The strong body to stay
The house to remain
The house to come back to
If you let me be
Wherever it may be
If the movie were mine
In the fight against evil
Everything that makes you hurt
Would die in the end
And when the darkness doesn't pass
And blinds you like a prison
I'll rescue you
Cleanse your heart
If you let me be
If it were up to me
I would make you see
Facing the precipice
Holding hands together
If today you want to jump
I want to be the reason
If today you want to jump
I want to be the reason
If you made me believe
In the place where I can return
For a day to fade
Or when the night rests
In the house to remain
On the stone we make our ground
To see myself again
Cleanse your heart
If you made me believe
If it were up to me
I would make you see
Facing the precipice
Holding hands together
If today you want to jump
I want to be the reason
If today you want to jump
I want to be the reason
If today you want to jump
I want to be the reason
If today you want to jump
I want to be the reason
