With a newer devel-version you could do:

\version "2.19.48"

\paper { indent = 35 }

<<
  \new Voice = "mel"
  \relative {
        \key d \major
        \time 2/4

        \partial 4
        a'8 g
        fis4 d
        e8( fis) g b
        a2
        a4 r8 a
        b4
        fis8 e
        fis4 fis\fermata
        \bar "|."
  }


  \new Lyrics
    \with { instrumentName = "\"\~\"" }
    \lyricsto "mel" {
      Il Si -- gno -- re~è~il mi -- o pas -- to -- re:
      non -- man -- co di nul -- la.
    }

  \new Lyrics
    \with { instrumentName = "\"undertie\"" }
    \lyricsto "mel" {
      Il Si -- gno -- \markup \undertie "re è il" mi -- o pas -- to -- re:
      non -- man -- co di nul -- la.
    }

  \new Lyrics
    \with { instrumentName = "tweaked \"undertie\"" }
    \lyricsto "mel" {
      Il Si -- gno --
        \markup
          %% maybe uncomment:
          %\override #'(offset . 4)
          \override #'(shorten-pair . (1.8 . 1))
          \undertie "re è il"
        mi -- o pas -- to -- re:
      non -- man -- co di nul -- la.
  }
