Avoid that one when working with vocals.

Try something like attached file.

Note:
 you have to name your \context Lyrics else
 they tend to be on the same line

 you have to make sure you don't create new voices, things like
  \new Voice { }
  << { } { } >>
  << { } \\ { } >>
 create new voices, so you have to tell lilypond every voice it's name
