let me use more examples (this forum also removes the spaces so I have replaced them with --'s

start with this

WE ARE FLYING through mist, a dimly glimpsed forest below.

-------------------- VOICE (V.O.)
---------- When I was lying there in the VA
---------- hospital, with a big hole blown through
---------- the middle of my life, I started having
---------- these dreams of flying.

We are very low over the forest now, gliding fast, the drums
BUILDING to a PEAK --

-------------------- VOICE (V.O.)
---------- Sooner or later though, you always have
---------- to wake up...

Now when I run that through calibre it does this

WE ARE FLYING through mist, a dimly glimpsed forest below.
-------------------- VOICE (V.O.)
---------- When I was lying there in the VA
---------- hospital, with a big hole blown through
---------- the middle of my life, I started having
---------- these dreams of flying.

BUILDING to a PEAK --
-------------------- VOICE (V.O.)
---------- Sooner or later though, you always have
---------- to wake up...

When I tell it to add line space it does NOT put it back the way it was it now does this

WE ARE FLYING through mist, a dimly glimpsed forest below.

worse it also gets rid of all those beginning spaces so you get an unreadable mess :-)
