First check the switch on the brake pedal to see if its releasing. If not, depending on the type of switch it is, some form of lubrication (like WD-40) will do the trick. If the switch is OK then it may be a short somewhere in the brake light wiring or even a relay, again, depending on the type of car or truck you have.

Please re-phrase your question; it appears you are saying the brake lights come on when you push the brake pedal and the lights are working (normal operation). If the lights are staying on after you release the pedal, then the problem is with th brake light switch (sticking). Thanks Malcolm
