Chevrolet Silverado Brake light switch Problem

My brake pedal has recently stopped returning fully still releasing the brakes but low enough it still triggers the rear lights to come on. Is there a "simple" fix or am i looking at having to change the master cylinder?

That's probably more of an adjustment issue with the brake light switch rather than the pedal not returning. If that were the cause, the brake would build up pressure and lock up.
