It eventually cools to the temperature of its surrounding environment.
For example, when you put an ice cube on your kitchen table, it won't stay an ice cube because the surrounding environment (the kitchen, which is about 75o Fahrenheit) is far too warm, and will eventually melt the ice cube.
This same principle can be used for why hot water doesn't stay hot. Unless the surrounding environment is as hot as the water, the water won't stay hot.
Plus, water has a very high heat capacity (meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before actually feeling warmer), so constant high temperature on the water is necessary to make it remain hot.
