You don't want a hyphen there, you need a lyric extender: "__" (without my quotes). You put one in the second verse, precisely underneath. You probably want to replace the extender in the second verse with a hyphen: "--" because I presume the word is onerous (e, not a). Note that LP's intraword hyphens don't aim to line up with anything musical, because that isn't the convention. Cheers, David.
