She has captured his heart, soul and he feels she is "the one" she has broken his heart even after he shared everything with her. He questions the things he shared and the dreams they talked about together but even when he was not sharing his emotions with her it may have been something important in end to her. He is begging to go back and change things if it was an option.
My interpretation is he is acknowledging that things that were not done (or said) may have been more hurtful to her than anything that was verbalised. In the first line: “Did all the words I never said, Hurt as bad as those I did”?

He says he never cared before, so it’s as if this encounter has changed him and opened his heart and soul on a level like not before, and may have initiated some sort of transformation. Perhaps he wasn’t anticipating such an encounter and then handled it by taking it for granted or ignoring it...

Perhaps he wasn’t anticipating such an encounter and then handled it by taking it for granted or ignoring it because it challenged his status quo. This may have caused her to leave due to the futility she felt standing outside the walls he had built. Perhaps this encounter was contrary to his normal and he dealt with by pretending their love wasn’t real at the time.
When he says, “I’ve told you all my secrets” (past tense), he is relating that in the past, he trusted her with his secrets, but may not have let the wall of fear down so that they could really be close. So then, when he says, “All my fears, I’ve let go,” he is saying that now in the present, he not only trusts her (with his secrets) but dropped his fear towards becoming closer. He says, “If I could only press rewind, I would bleed this heart of mine, And just to show you.” He is saying, now, if he had the chance he would “bleed” his most vulnerable emotions, just to “show” her he is not shallow and truly loves her.
“Don't you know, Don't you know”? He doesn’t understand how she could not know the love he feels for her because she is the “only one”, who could really understand him and his motives in the first place.
There is clearly a lot of regret in this song, “the hardest part is not having you to hold”, “And it’s flawless, you are the only one”. He is saying he realises now what they had was special “flawless” but his actions of taking her for granted eventually pushed her away. Now that the walls have broken down and he has let go of fears, he has decided he wants to try to make it right, despite the possibility of only making it worse. He simply can not live without finding out whether his transformation would change the outcome with them; because, she is “the only one”.
