People have these expectations of him that he feels he can't live up to, hence the "I'll never be what you want me to be" line. He wants someone to see the good in him, but nobody does. They keep forcing him to change in order to fit their perceptions of him, but again he can't be what they want him to be. Saying "they don't know me" suggests that people are very judgemental towards him, and don't understand him.
Then he meets someone, a girl maybe, who "sees the things they never see" (the good parts of him, instead of just the bad). He opens up to her and shows him who he really is, a genuinely good guy struggling with his demons as I said before. He realizes he doens't need those judgemental people in his life, he shuts out their words and realizes that he's not the one with the problem - they are.
