I am almost 100 percent sure what your problem is, i have an escort and the same thing happened. To make sure this is the problem look underneath where the brake and gas pedels are. Where the brake at the top of the brake pedel, if you push it in with your hand you can see a little white button almost that you can push in with your finger. Push it in and have some one stand behind the car ad see if the lights go off if they do then heres the problem, there is supposed to be a blue rubber stopper where the buttom is supposed to be pressed in when the brake is not being pushed, yours is most likley not there any more, and either needs to be replaced or I just glued two penies in the spot, but i needed a quick fix, you can most likley get the peice at and car parts store.
