why can’t we use magnets for perpetual motion?

I mean, I always used to fancy as a kid why can’t we use magnets to keep a fan going in circles? Why can”t we create a perpetual machine using magnets? Even if the magnets get worn out, we can still use them for considerable time. What is the science behind it that makes it impossible?

Magnets are not a source of energy; they are just a way of transferring energy from one place to another.

Not to mention you can’t exactly “point” where magnetism starts and ends.
