Losing My Investment

This one didn't take much to bend it toward a parody:

Oh, debt is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
Malfeasance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I screwed it up

(chorus)
That's me in a corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my investment
Trying to keep up with Jones
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've risked too much
I haven't saved enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I caught the ring
I think I thought I heard you sigh

Every sliver
Of every waking hour I'm
Counting my possessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I messed it up
Consider this
Consider this
The bust of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I caught the ring
I think I thought I heard you sigh.

But that was just a scheme
That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a scheme
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a scheme
Just a scheme, just a dream
Dream
