Puedo dejar de ser pero no puedo dejar de estar

Ok so I heard this in a song. I'm thinking "I can stop being, but I can't stop being....." but I really don't get it I guess. Any ideas?

Thanks, I'll check that out. Seems like they think it means "I can cease to be, but i can't cease to be here." - jeezzle, Nov 9, 2009

It depends on the lyric but sounds to me something about love. Like I can let you go, but I can give up loving you.

From a song, it may actually mean anything, jeje, but this is a word game which cannot really be translated.

Puedo dejar de ser mujer/tu esposa/ tu amante...

pero no puedo dejar de estar enamorada/celosa/herida...

It may be that it means "I must be but I can´t be" It makes more sense.
