Your brake master cylinder is bad, it has an internal leak.......this is when the brake fluid leaks past the the piston because of faulty seals.....so when you press the brake pedal the fluid is not compressed & pushed out to each brake caliper, it just flushes back into the reservoir, thus the brake pedal going to the floor.
