It's definitely about a father that wasn't a part of Emerson Hart's life. Compared to the rest of the album, it's a very well written song.
I can see how you could twist it to make it a break up song but the first verse wouldn't make a lot of sense.
Hart seems to have problems with his parents. "If You Could Only See" is about when his mother abandoned him when he got married.
