You have two voices.  So make tell Lilypond that you have two voices.

Something like this:
vOne= { e8 g f a ~ | a s4. }
vTwo={ s2 | c8 d4 s8 }
\score {
  <<
       \context Staff = top {
       \time 2/4 
       \partcombine \context Voice = vOne \vOne
       \context Voice = vTwo \vTwo
       }
       
       \lyricsto vOne \context Lyrics = partOne  { A B C D  __ }
       \lyricsto vTwo \context Lyrics =partTwo { E F }
     >>
}
