That's the way Lily works.  It may not be completely intuitive.  The
lyrics just go along straight following the notes ignoring any other
structural commands like \volta and \alternative.  You have to put skips
in your music to skip endings, etc. where you don't want lyrics.  I
usually do this with "_" (underscore).
