[e2-e5] Having a hard time finding the melody for the bridge part of The A Team by Ed Sheeran

Hello, I am somewhat recently learning how to sing. On my best day my vocal range is E2 to E5. I am learning to sing and play (guitar) the A Team by Ed Sheeran. So for the verses, pre-chorus, and chorus I have no problem finding the melody that I should be singing.

However, for the bridge, I am having a hard time finding the melody line that I should be singing.

For quick reference this is the part I'm referring to that I am struggling with:

"An angel will die, covered in white
Closed eyes and hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
Straight down the line"

Is there something about how/where the melody sits in relation to the chords in this section that makes it more difficult? Or is there something about just the melody line itself in this section that makes it more difficult?

I am trying to understand what it is about this section of the song that makes it more difficult for me to sing. That way I can then look for exercises that will help me improve in this area.

P.S. - I'm about to go to bed so I'll respond to your comments tomorrow, and thanks in advance for your input and advice.
