If you temporarily have additional lyrics to a voice you can keep the lyrics context alive with the following construct. Unless you do this, a further temporary lyrics context would create a separate line (if it happens on the same system of music).
The solution is to create one or more named Lyrics context(s) with
\new Lyrics = "lyr1" \new Lyrics = "lyr2" ...
before they are filled with the lyrics text.
Note that the definition of the contexts must use \new ... while later references must use \context ....
\version "2.24"
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "melody" {
\relative c'' {
a1 \repeat volta 2 {a}
b \repeat volta 2 {b}
} }
\context Lyrics = "line1" \with{
associatedVoice = "melody"
} \lyricmode {
one
<< % this is the 1st temporary lyric part
\context Lyrics = "line1" { one }
\context Lyrics = "line2" { two }
% the context "line2" dies here
>>
one
<< % this is the 2nd temporary lyric part
\context Lyrics = "line1" { one }
\context Lyrics = "line2" { two }
>>
}
>>
}
