I suspect you’re looking at two separate symbols. Have a hunt here :-

"This bracket is there to show that both verses of the lyrics (2 lines of text) goes to the same lyric text for the chorus in the next measure (1 line of text). We hope this explanation makes sense."

"This would appear to be a ‘Brace’ which connects the treble and bass clef staves together on piano music and usually faces the other way at the beginning of each line. It would not appear on ‘lead sheet’ music (treble clef and chord symbols only)."

What do YOU think?
