Some possibilities:

"Can you explain yourself?"
"Can you reveal yourself more fully?"
"Can you reveal what is behind the facade?"
"Can you make things clear to me?"

(Say: "Here are the words....")

He is, perhaps, asking her to commit herself (to a relationship). Or maybe he is asking her to express her feelings.
