Discover the story of the song > The One You Know – Alice In Chains

The lyrics are about a person who feels like they have changed and are now different from how they used to be. They feel like they are pretending to be someone they're not, especially when they are around their partner. The person wonders if it even matters if they are still around or not. They feel like they are hiding something underneath their outer appearance. The person asks if their partner is surprised by this change and compares themselves to a well that has run dry. They realize that they are not the person that their partner knows.
