Pardon our dust - after more construction

Pardon our dust  (Final draft? I think so. I also hear music for it now. I just need someone to actualize it musically for me.)

You’re stopping into my café, and you're gonna be denied. 
I regret the inconvenience. 
The drive thru window's open, but I can't let you inside. 
I've learned too much to give you lenience. 

I know I may be tryin’ your patience 
while my heart is indisposed. 
I’m undergoing renovations. 
This facility is closed. 

Please understand the situation. 
You weren't the first to walk this floor. 
I must avoid the complication 
That tore me down before. 

The coffee’s served in paper cups that I keep here on the shelf
To take to destinations 
If it’s not the way you like it, please sweeten it yourself. 
My heart is closed for renovations. 

I know I may be tryin’ your patience 
while my heart is indisposed. 
I’m undergoing renovations. 
This facility is closed. 

Please understand that this construction 
Was going on before you came.
You're not the one who caused destruction,
But once destroyed, it's all the same 

I know I may be tryin’ your patience 
while my heart is indisposed. 
I’m undergoing renovations. 
This facility is closed. 

Just tryin' to manage expectations 
while my heart is indisposed. 
I can't be blamed for your frustrations.
This facility is closed.

Pardon our dust

Early draft, I'm sure. I will likely be changing some stuff. Dunno for sure what the sound is going to be like yet but my buddy Corey Stroud says it's gonna have to be country. I think it could be rockabilly though. Or maybe any other genre, really. If anyone has musical composition skills and ideas, lemme know.

You’re stopping into my café, and you're gonna be denied.
I regret the inconvenience.
The drive thru window's open, but I can't let you inside.
I've learned too much to give you lenience.

Please understand the situation.
You weren't the first to walk this floor.
I must avoid the complication
That tore me down before.

 
My heart is closed for renovations
But the quick serv's on the shelf
The coffee's in a paper cup
Feel free to sweeten it yourself…

I know I may be tryin’ your patience
while I’m undergoing reparations
But my heart is closed.

[Instrumental]

Please understand that this construction
Was going on before you came
You're not the one who caused destruction
But once destroyed, it's all the same

  
My heart is closed for renovations
But the drive thru menu’s cheap
I'll serve your pie, but any more than that
And I just won’t make the leap…

I know I may be tryin’ your patience
while I’m undergoing reparations
But my heart is closed.

[Instrumental]

I can't be blamed for your frustrations
I'm just tryin' to manage expectations
And my heart's just closed.
