Why does my apple iPhone charger keep overheating?

Whenever I plug my phone in, I worry about whether it's going to die because I plug it in around 5% and a lot of the time my charger will overheat and stop charging even though its plugged in. So I'd have to unplug it for a bit and wait for it to cool down while my phone is dying. When I touch the charger it's always super warm. How do I fix this? Or is it just broken?
