Based on what you described, It sounds like you're talking about the 90's song 'Linger' performed by the Irish band 'Cranberries'.
Cranberries guitarist Noel Hogan wrote the music for this song before Dolores O'Riordan (September 6, 1971 - January 15, 2018) joined the band.
Originally, it had lyrics written by the group's first singer named Niall Quinn. But, when O'Riordan auditioned for the band, she had some ideas for the song, and after she was hired, she wrote her own set of lyrics, turning it into a song of regret based on a soldier she once fell in love with.

The emotional, girlie sound was a hugely unfamiliar sound for the band at the time, but it went on to become wildly successful.
The song eventually got lots of airplay around the country and around the world.
Radio stations at the time were looking for an alternative to rap and grunge music and MTV put the video in heavy rotation. The Cranberries became one of the best-selling bands of the mid-'90s.
