3. Patchwork

The EP’s title track is a beautiful metaphor for building and repairing a relationship piece by piece. 

Charlotte acknowledges that love isn’t effortless, but it’s still worth tending to. This song captures the vulnerability of trying again without guarantees—knowing failure is possible, but not inevitable. There’s patience here, intention, and a willingness to grow together slowly. Her songwriting feels intimate and intentional, like watching someone carefully stitch something fragile back together.

2. If Only

“If Only” lives in the space between heartbreak and hope.

 It’s about longing for the person you lost and realizing how much fuller life felt with them in it. Charlotte sings about wanting to hold them again, to try one more time, to return to a version of herself that existed when they were still around. It’s a breakup song, but it’s also a quiet what-if—a potential makeup song wrapped in delicacy. The track feels raw, intricate, and deeply human.

1. High Road

“High Road” is about recognizing when someone doesn’t have a permanent place in your life—and choosing peace anyway.

 Charlotte sings about loving someone fully in the moment, even while knowing your paths don’t align long-term. Their goals, timing, or direction would ultimately hold her back from becoming who she’s meant to be. Instead of forcing something that won’t last, she chooses gratitude over resentment, acceptance over chaos. It’s tender, mature, and quietly powerful—taking the high road even when it hurts.

This EP isn’t loud or flashy—it’s intentional, balanced, and intimate. Each song feels thoughtfully placed, contributing to a larger emotional narrative about love, growth, and self-awareness. Patchwork doesn’t rush healing or resolution; instead, it honors the process, the messiness, and the beauty of becoming. It’s a project that invites you to sit with your feelings—and rewards you for doing so.
