master cylinder could be worn out. it wont show up as being worn out until you put new clean fluid in the system. I think it costs 180 to replace. when was the last time you changed your brake fluid. if it has been a few years and you have correctly bled the system your master cylinder is done.

Prob air bubbles in the system...you can compress air but you can't compress a fluid. Bleeding the brakes should fix it, squeezes out the old, puts in new fluid with no bubbles. Should result in a firm pedal.

Not to nit pick, but it's brakes - not breaks.

(Though breaks is what will happen if the brakes don't work. )
