Minor note: it’s spelled phrase, because English spelling is psychotic.

"I want to tell you" is a statement of intent. It means I have something to say, and I want to say/give it to you, I will say it and you will hear/read it.
"I want you to tell me " is a request, a desire, you know something I do not, and I want to know it. I will read/hear it, and you will speak it
For example:
You: "I want you to tell me the answer to my question"
Me: "I want to
tell you the answer!"
Keep in mind, that they can be used as negatives e.g.
I want to tell you, but I can not
