You are running out of chips. Could be a umer of things, getting out played, playing bad, bad luck bad beats etc etc..final tables become extreamy aggresive, if you not being aggresive your on your way out.

could be cos you play too tight around the bubble, could be cos you play too loose. There's no easy answer.
Give us some more information about how you get knocked out. Do you get blinded out? Do you get bad beats? Do you get your chips in with the worst hand? What's your stack like when you get to the final table?

My guess is you're probably playing too tight around the bubble and the lead-up to it. I used to play MTTs ultra-tight the whole way through, worked great to start with and I was NEVER out in the first hour, but I often bubble'd or made only the first tier of cash.
Now I play a lot more aggressively, take more risks and loosen up a LOT around the bubble and on FT's. Now I often reach the FT, and sometimes even 1st
But of course, maybe also you just a donk and aren't very good??? Who knows. More info pls.
