To me this song is about a man who secretly loves a girl who doesn't know it. He is scared to tell her because she might get scared. How he explains it seems to be an obsession that he cannot control and he feels very frustrated by his feelings for her. He desperately wants to tell her he loves her but something is holding him back.
"I don't want the world to see me, because I don't think they'd understand" suggests that he doesn't know how to tell anyone/ express his feelings or he doesn't want people to know because they won't get it or he could be referring "world" as the girl he likes (she won't understand).
"When everything's made to be broken" suggests that he thinks it is wrong to be in love with this girl for some reason, or he tried to stop himself from loving her but can't help it.
"I just want you to know who I am" shows that he really wants the girl to know him on the inside and to know his deep feelings and not to see him as what he seems (how everyone else sees him). He would like her to understand his feelings for her - what makes up his world. It could also mean that she doesn't know who this man is at all and he wants her to meet him.
"when everything feels like the movies" shows that the love he has for this girl is like a love story from a movie - he loves her so much that it's almost un-real/ hard to believe.
You probably already know this, but the music video for this song has clips of the movie City of Angles. Its where Nicolas Cage is an angle and finds a woman and falls in love with her. And in the movie, he has to choose wether or not he wants to be human in order to stay with her. Your explanation kinda brought his thoughts and feelings to life lol. Great movie. You should watch.

@Leah96 Great interpretation! Very relatable too. I am so in love with a girl that it seems unreal, and I was really scared to tell anyone. It feels like it's not too good to be true, but too good and too true.
