Found it online somewhere. Myself and my friend had the same problem as well. idk if this will help but good luck
"There is a switch located under the dash, where the brake peddle-arm comes down. That switch is probably stuck. It’s, usually a spring-loaded switch, that the brake peddle-arm makes contact with. Follow the brake-peddle arm up underneath the dash and feel for the switch. Jiggle the switch and it’ll probably come loose and your lights will go off. If it’s an older car, it may be dirty. If that’s the case. go to an auto-parts store and buy some contact cleaner. If your flexible, you can get your head underneath the dash, so that you can see the switch."

This happened to me a year or so ago. Put a new switch in for a couple of bucks and all was good.

happend to me once.but in my case, there is a plastic/urethane clip in the brakelight pedal that was broken (dunno how) that's why the switch wont got off and brakelight is always on.

Yeah, this is a possibility as well. Happened on my mom's car a while ago.
The little rubber peice that pushs in the switch to turn off your lights could have possibly fell out. Thats what happened to mine, just another idea.
