Default to blame?

Hello everyone..it's a quickie..

1." only I'm to blame for this fiasco.." is the correct way of saying it.
" only I'm to be blame for this fiasco..." what's wrong with one?? can't we say it this way.. I've heard people say that..

2." I love you and always will.. " is the right way..
but can't we say.. " I love you and will always do.." what's wrong with this one?
thanks..
Ali.

1." only I'm to blame for this fiasco..

I think here you have to separate "I'm"

so the sentence will be;
only I am to blame for this fiasco

Which means that I am the only one to blame

If it can be said like this (I leave this to the teachers)

It should be;

Only I am to be blamed for this fiasco.
