Actress/model/singer Arden Cho dropped the music video for her single “I’m the One to Blame” off her debut album “My True Happy.” The video follows a regretful Arden as she reminisces on a past relationship. She has a seemingly perfect relationship, but she pushes away the one she loves. Here’s more from Arden Cho about the song:

I suppose this is my song about the one that got away and the words I never got to say. I was never really good at saying “I love you” or showing how I really felt. I would push people away because I was so scared of getting hurt. Shutting down and keeping people distant is what I’ve always been good at. But my defense mechanism to protect my heart only ended up hurting me in the end. There were days I used to think back and regret that it didn’t workout. But now when I think back I feel like we were both too young and too insecure. Since then I’ve grown a lot and I’m much happier with who I am and happier with my life. It’s hard to be in a healthy relationship when you’re not happy with yourself. Timing really is important. You probably have no idea but I still think I was really lucky to have met you. Thank you for all the joy and laughter you brought into a chapter of my life. It’s good to know that nice guys do exist. I’ll make sure the next nice guy I meet, I won’t push away.

The video stars Arden Cho, actor/model Lewis Tan, and makeup guru Jen FrmHeadtoToe. You can download the single on or amazon.

I’m the One to Blame by Arden Cho

Lyrics to I’m the One to Blame by Arden Cho

Standing out on the edge of the road now
All alone and I don’t know why
You were everything that I couldn’t leave
but I said goodbye

It’s fair to say that I got no one to blame
It always seems to end the same
You got to close I was scared
and I said goodbye

You were honest and you cared for me
like no one ever did before
But my past and my doubts
ruined all our dreams we had in store
The sound of your voice
and the way you smile
I just can’t wipe away
Cuz I love you

And I know it’s too late
For me to say this to you
But I hate myself more
For pushing you out that door
Wish I would said all these things
When I had you in my life
But you’ve moved on with another and I know
that I’m the one to blame

You always knew how to make me smile
Used to think that we’d walk that aisle
But you’re with someone new
and I truly hope she’s good to you

Our last talk I said some hurtful things
but babe I’m sorry that was me being mean
and I really hope that one day
you’d forgive me to

You were honest and you cared for me
like no one ever did before
But my past and my doubts
ruined all our dreams we had in store
The sound of your voice
and the way you smile
I just can’t wipe away
Cuz I love you

And I know it’s too late
For me to say this to you
But I hate myself more
For pushing you out that door
Wish I would said all these things
When I had you in my life
But you’ve moved on with another and I know
that I’m the one to blame

I was trapped in my past and I ca­­­n’t take it back
But I know holding on, won’t make it real
So I’m letting you go saying all that I feel
and maybe it’ll free me cuz I know, gotta let you go

And I know it’s too late
For me to say this to you
But I hate myself more
For pushing you out that door
Wish I would said all these things
When I had you in my life
But you’ve moved on with another and I know
that I’m the one to blame

I’m the one to blame
I’m the one to blame
I’m the one to blame
I’m the one to blame
