The reason is that you have notes straddling barlines, so LilyPond cannot find a place to break the music. In bar 2 you have 1/8 note short in duration so the 1/2 note that follows is actually straddling the barline and so LilyPond cannot break a line there, this tends then to continue with successive bars having notes straddling the barlines, which can lead, in extreme cases, to the music running off the end of the line. Use Score->Check Score to look for errors.
Richard ps please reply to list, as others will want to know how to resolve problems, and most only ever "listen-in", they never ask!
